old faithful

just as we were pulling into the parking lots for old faithful, the rain clouds started to roll in. we planned to spend a few hours exploring the area, so we packed up the day bag with lunch fixins, snacks, water, cameras, etc... and just as we started to walk it started to lightly rain. on went the raincoats, and we carried on. we got to the old faithful benches as they were starting to fill, but found front row seats since the rain scared some people back to the trees. we only had to wait 10 min for the geyser to erupt. it was really cool to see, and Christina was super excited because she had never heard of old faithful and geysers.

after a quick pb&j sandwich, we set off on the walking path to explore the rest of the steamy features!
